Setup a small pitch wiith two goals and a line of cones across the half way line
Split the group in to two teams. Players line up in any formation.
The game is played 3v3 or 4v4 + 2 goalkeepers. Each team stays in their own half of the field.
The keeper serves the ball to any player who can either shoot or set up a team mate to shoot.
The opposite team can try and block shots. If a goal is scored or the ball goes out of play the opposite goalkeeper can serve the ball.
